Description

This is a cake my husband’s grandma used to make for family gatherings. Everyone always loved it. I hope you will too.

Ingredients

  • FOR THE CAKE:
  • ½ cups Shortening
  • ½ cups Butter
  • ¼ cups Cocoa Powder
  • 1 cup Water
  • 2 cups Flour
  • 2 cups Sugar
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Soda
  • 2 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
  • ½ cups Buttermilk
  • 2 whole Eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • FOR THE ICING:
  • ½ cups Butter
  • ¼ cups Cocoa Powder
  • ⅓ cups Milk
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 4 cups Powdered Sugar
  • 1 cup Pecans, Chopped

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400ºF. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt shortening and butter. Stir in cocoa, then add water. Bring to a rapid boil. Remove from heat.

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking soda, and cinnamon. Stir in butter mixture. Add buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla. Mix well. Pour into a greased 10×15 inch jelly roll pan.

I’ve been eatting and making this cake for as long as I can remember, my mother started making it when I was a child. So good, always a winner. For a varation I put about 1/4-1/3 C peanut butter in the frosting and sprinkle salted chopped peanuts on the top. The kids love this one. Oh and I leave out the cinnamon when I’m going to at the peanut butter to the frosting, it might be good with it, but I have just never done it that way.
